...What I mean is - The scissors kill the paper, which kills the rock, soooooooooo...

Intriguing.

Perhaps, the situation is reversed? Rock is defeated by papre, which is defeated by scizzors, which are in turn defeated by rock, and the cycle continues.

that, or it flows better.
I've been looking back over these past few months, and I've felt off. Felt different. At the time, I wanted nothing more than to go back to the good old days.
But now? Could I just ignore all the ways I've suffered and grown? Caught hold and let go? Could I return from life, having now lived?

There are six different orders you can put them in.

Rock, paper, scissors.
Rock, scissors, paper
Paper, rock, scissors,
Paper, scissors, rock
Scissors, rock, paper
Scissors, paper, rock

Which one sounds best, do you thinl?

I think it's a regional thing. I'm fairly some Aussies say "scissors, paper, rock" - or possibly the Brits? At any rate, some people say it differently xD
